Greetings:
I am Chimezie Madueke son of the recently embattled former Petroleum Minister of Nigeria Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke . I am writing to request your honest assistance in receiving and managing a considerable sum of money in a secured account with a private and re-known fund managers. In the heat of the current events with my mother, I have been asked by the fund managers to move the funds to a safer aboard to avoid been confiscated. In the light of this I have appointed our age long family Attorney, David Metus a United Kingdom based Attorney to oversee the movement of this fund in order to stay within the confines of ordinary law. I am therefore writing under the umbrella of his office and asking you to deal with him directly in this transaction.
These funds are surpluses of several contracts executed during the years of her reign as the oil minister in her country Nigeria amounting to the sum of $54 million US Dollars, I am offering you a total share of 30% as reward to you for standing in as a substitute beneficiary to the claim, an additional 5% is set aside to reimburse for expenses in the course of the transaction and the balance of 65% will be invested upon your strong recommendation in your chosen destination.
If you are willing to provide this assistance please forward your personal detail and mobile phone number(s) to the Attorney, David Metus on his personal email address: [email protected], otherwise please feel free to decline.
Click on the link below to find more information on the reason I cannot deal directly with volunteers.
A Memorandum of understanding and Agreement will be in place to protect each one of us in this transaction and enforceable in any local court of law All documents relating to this transaction will be legitimate and verifiable from all relevant authorities.
We look forward to a great business relationship.
Regards,
Chimezie Madueke
